blossoming

'T is night and spring, Sweetheart, and spring!

Starfire lights your heart's blossoming.

Of bending sky and sudden, sweeping showers,

Till ripe and blossoming thou art a thing

To make all nature glad, thou art so gay;

Fare by my side, that journey in the sun;

Else must I turn me from the blossoming year

And walk in grief the way that you have gone.

I see them yet, in the spring of the year.

He broke me a bough of the blossoming peach

That was out of the way and hard to reach.

Large desires, with most uncertain issues,

Tender wishes, blossoming at night!

The Month of Marriages! All pleasant sights

And scents, the fragrance of the blossoming vine,

The foliage of the valleys and the heights.

Of newest joys upon that alp. Sometimes

A scent of violets, and blossoming limes,

Loiter'd around us ; then of honey cells,

And the pale dove no longer cared to sail

Through the wet woods at time of blossoming,

But round this flower of Egypt sought to float,
